Book Information

Book Description

“The value of knowledge is truly realised when it shapes everyday practice”.

In healthcare, currently, there is an abundance of good ideas and promising innovations. Research evidence grows at a pace, offering fresh insights and better ways of working. Yet too often, healthcare practice is fragmented, and improvements are inconsistent. Some practices are outdated, and innovations often stall. For many health professionals, there is a gap between research and reality.

While this gap is frustrating, it also points to a possibility. When new knowledge is systematically embedded into practice, improvements in patient care occur, services function efficiently, and health professionals can lead meaningful change with confidence.
